In 1937, as World War II looms, Lieutenant Colonel Yuuki of the Imperial Japanese Army establishes the "D Agency," a covert intelligence unit that defies traditional military doctrine. Its agents are trained to follow three strict rules: don't kill, don't get killed, and don't get captured. Yuuki recruits a diverse team of operatives, each skilled in languages, communication, and psychological manipulation, to infiltrate foreign powers and gather critical information.
When Army General Staff attaches Lieutenant Sakuma to observe the unit, he witnesses the agents' unorthodox methods as they carry out dangerous missions against domestic and foreign threats. The operatives must navigate a web of espionage, deception, and moral ambiguity, relying on their wits and training to survive in a world where trust is a liability and every move could be their last.
